The National Return to Louisville September 27th at the Brown Theatre!!

HELL YEAH!!!  This is the best news I’ve heard in a long time!  THE NATIONAL ARE RETURNING TO LOUISVILLE FOR A SHOW AT THE BROWN THEATRE THIS SEPTEMBER.  No word yet on the exact date, but I assure you as soon as we find out, you will be the first to know.  Needless to say, we are huge National fans and back in 2007, we ran dangerously close to just being a National tribute blog.  With the recent release of one of the best albums this year (and their third best for the record), High Violet, this is sure to be a memorable show.  We were there at the Bell House in NYC in March for their show and I watched their live youtube show a week or two ago and they do not disappoint.  I, for one, am going to get in line early for my tix.

If you are still with me after that fan boy rant, here is another bit of good news.  Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) is going to open (I am not shitting you).  Get ready ladies and gents.  I’ve put my whole September on hold to save whatever date this show lands on.  From the National’s show page, below are the September dates already taken.  I’ll go out on a limb and guess that it will be after the 9/11 show in WA (but, who knows?).

UPDATE:  Word is the show will be on September 27, 2010.  We will confirm once we are sure.

UPDATE 2:  Hit the nail on the head.  The National + Owen Pallett in Louisville.  The show will be September 27, 2010.  Tix will cost you a reasonable $35 bucks.  They go on sale June 4th at 10:00 am.  Member pre-sale begins on June 2nd.  Get them ASAP.
